We've got a customer who just started to receive calls to several of their DID numbers where the call shows their own DID as the caller ID. I don't know what they were selling, the trouble ticket doesn't go into detail. It was a recorded call. Anyone else seen this?
Not this specifically but often all 0s or a bogus number. Obviously spoofed CLID. Trivial for the bad guys to do. There's even an app for that... http://calleridfaker.com/ Sending email "from" the victim's address is an old spammer trick to get the victim to open it out of curiosity. Probably similar motivation here. The fact that it was a recorded call (generally illegal) just makes it more annoying. -- Jay Hennigan - CCIE #7880 - Network Engineering - jay at impulse.net Impulse Internet Service - http://www.impulse.net/ Your local telephone and internet company - 805 884-6323 - WB6RDV
